Thus, the manufacture can be simplified and the apparatus and materials used in the dispensing process can be saved, thereby greatly reducing manufacturing costs and saving the manufacturing time.
- FIG. 7 shows the touch module 1 in accordance with at least one other embodiment.
- Many structures shown in FIG. 7 are the same as those shown in FIG. 2 , and the major differences reside in that, in the touch module 1 shown in FIG. 7 , although the electrically conductive structure 42 of the circuit board 4 does not overlap the protection layer 24 , the edge 411 of the plate 41 overlaps the protection layer 24 and the cover portion 32 of the conductive adhesive layer 3 , and the edge 411 and the protection layer 24 are disposed at two opposite sides of the cover portion 32 , so as to form a structure in which the protection layer 24 , the conductive adhesive layer 3 and the edge 411 of the plate 41 are sequentially stacked from bottom to top.

- the edge 411 of the plate 41 overlaps the protection layer 24 with the edge 411 of the plate 41 being perpendicularly spaced apart from the protection layer 24 , and thus, a space is formed between the plate 41 and the protection layer 24 .
- the conductive adhesive layer 3 (which is originally spaced apart from the protection layer 24 by a distance (D 4 ) preferably not greater than 500 ⁇ m) flows toward the protection layer 24 , and flows onto the protection layer 24 through the space between the circuit board 4 and the protection layer 24 , so that the conductive adhesive layer 3 is formed into the cover portion 32 which covers the protection layer 24 .
- D 4 a distance preferably not greater than 500 ⁇ m
- the conductive adhesive layer 3 of the touch module 1 not only functions as an electrically conductive medium between the signal transmitting structure 23 and the circuit board 4 , but also cooperates with the protection layer 24 to cover the surface of the signal transmitting structure 23 so as to provide good protection to the signal transmitting structure 23 .
